Fengxian Jiangshan

"The commander-in-chief has served as the tour envoy. No matter what he does in the future, it will be justified. It is indeed a good thing!" Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "Prime Minister Duan is quite open-minded, and he was able to agree. I thought he would continue. Do you keep it or not?"

"It's a matter of course, and Duan Qirui is not a fool. The finance and military of the three provinces have been unified, and they have become a group. They are inseparable at all. It's just a matter of favor."

When Yang Yuting came to this point, he looked at Zhang Tinglan and said with a smile, "It's all clumsy words with ideas, if you don't agree with the old Duan, you have to agree."

"I don't dare to take credit for what the commander-in-chief is expecting, and it's a matter of course."

The young marshal gets married, the old marshal gets promoted, and the Fengjun has a lot of happy events, all of them are very excited.Especially when the autumn wind is picking up and harvest time is approaching, this year is the first year of promoting farms and immigrating to farmland. No one has a certain idea of ​​how much results can be achieved.

Just in time for a break, Wang Yongjiang, Yang Yuting and others heard that the rice harvest in Zhang Tinglan's manor was coming soon, so they all came to see how the harvest was going and whether it was worth promoting in the three eastern provinces.

A few people came to the field. Wang Yongjiang looked at the neat rice fields. The breeze blew and the rice waves rolled. It seemed that he could smell the fragrance of rice, which made people fascinated.

Wang Yongjiang looked very happy, nodded and said: "Zhuoyan, this is the first time I know that rice can be grown in the three eastern provinces. It seems that the harvest is much more than that of sorghum!" Wang Yongjiang squatted on the ground and stretched out his hands to weigh it. The heavy ears of rice have a pleasant smile on his face.

Yang Yuting also grabbed one, put it in his mouth and bit it, nodded again and again: "It's very successful, if this year is a bumper harvest year, Zhuo Yan, what do you estimate the yield per mu will be?"

"Not too little. At least it can exceed five hundred catties, or even six hundred catties!"

When Wang Yongjiang heard this number, he immediately raised his eyebrows, breathed quickly, and looked in disbelief: "Zhuoyan, you are not joking, this is more than four times higher than that of sorghum. The output of rice can be so high." Is it amazing?"

"Of course not!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "These rices are all treated with chemical fertilizers. It is considered an experimental field, and the yield is much higher than other fields. It is only a hundred acres, and the other rice can exceed [-] catties, which is not bad! "

Every single flower in the crop depends entirely on fertilizer. Zhang Tinglan bought some chemical fertilizers at the beginning of planting rice.The main purpose is to use it as a reference and put real examples in front of everyone.Let everyone in Fengtian see the power of modern agriculture.

Don't look at the fact that many people in later generations have criticized chemical fertilizers and pesticides in every possible way.That's because they are full. If they are hungry, do you think they have anything to say?

Sure enough, Wang Yongjiang has been completely shocked. The use of chemical fertilizers can double the output, which is simply amazing, if all the land is used.Doesn't it mean that the population to support will double!

"Zhuoyan, what is the price of this chemical fertilizer? Can it be imported in large quantities? Is it difficult to promote it in Fengtian?"

Zhang Tinglan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Tiekan, one-third of the extra harvest per mu of land is used to buy chemical fertilizers, and chemical fertilizers are different from other things. Ten catties per mu of land are used. Hundreds of catties, or even more. If we buy in large quantities, the big powers will definitely increase the price, and ordinary people can’t afford it at all, so it’s better to open up a little more wasteland.”

When Wang Yongjiang heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. The cost of using chemical fertilizers is indeed too high, and the common people must not be able to bear it.But the harvest is also real, and Wang Yongjiang couldn't help but be tempted: "In my opinion, using a large amount of chemical fertilizers is an inevitable trend in the future. It is true that relying on soil fertility and manure is not enough!"

"That's right, Mr. Tiekan. Collecting a person's excrement and urine for a year, and decomposing it into manure, the effect is actually similar to two catties of chemical fertilizer. There is no comparison between the two. If you want to grow food, you have to use Chemical fertilizers, the big powers rely on this thing to achieve food and clothing, and even export a large amount of food!"

"Well, the amount of land is limited after all, and the cost of importing chemical fertilizers is too high. It seems that we can only produce them ourselves. Is it difficult to produce chemical fertilizers? Can we do it in a short time?"

"If you want to make chemical fertilizers, you must first have raw materials and supporting chemical plants that can produce sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc., and the most important thing is to have a synthetic ammonia process. This is the most important raw material for chemical fertilizers. The most mature technology is Germany. !"

"Zhuoyan, can you consider introducing technology, the effect of chemical fertilizers to increase production is too obvious, no matter how much we pay!"

"Mr. Tiekan, it is certain to find opportunities to introduce fertilizers, but the demand for chemical fertilizers is too large. It is definitely not enough to rely on imported equipment, but to produce it ourselves. In fact, the equipment is not complicated. The most important thing is to have high temperature and high pressure. The device, in the final analysis, is a matter of materials. In addition, this material has another function, I wonder if the two of you have thought of it?"

High temperature and pressure?Yang Yuting seemed to have thought of something: "Zhuoyan, do you mean it can be used to make cannons, which also have to withstand high temperature and pressure!"

"That's right, it's the cannon. Great powers have strong ships, advanced weapons, and people's livelihood is much better than ours. That's the reason. Industrial technology has two sides in one. It can not only bring powerful force, but also promote earth-shaking changes in other industries. The common people live a better life, it can’t be more normal!”

Both Yang Yuting and Wang Yongjiang were smart people, and they all listened thoughtfully. Since the Opium War, Chinese people have been thinking about why the Celestial Empire fell behind and why they allowed themselves to be bullied.

Some people think that the armament is backward, so they built factories and developed the navy. As a result, after the Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese began to believe in the Western system again, thinking that only by learning their system can China become prosperous and strong, and a large number of people fell in love with it. at the feet of foreigners.

It even advocates total westernization, abandoning everything, and not wanting anything.In fact, in Zhang Tinglan's view, the culture accumulated in China over the past 5000 years is infinitely more sophisticated and complex than that of the West. This does not mean that the Chinese are much superior to the Westerners, but that we have a rich heritage that has hardly been cut off.

There are countless historical materials in China, and all of them are reliable history.Westerners even regard books such as the Bible and ancient Greek mythology as history for research.The so-called humanistic spirit, freedom and equality, democracy and the rule of law.China does not lack the same.

Of course, some people think that China's long history has accumulated too much dross in its culture, which has dragged down the country.Therefore, they lag behind the West, but if you carefully measure it, there is less dross in Western culture. Take their churches for example, isn't it the same as hiding dirt!

In the final analysis, the backwardness of Chinese people is the backwardness of industrial production methods. Other cultural and institutional things are incidental to industrialization, such as clothes and hats and other decorations, which are not the core of the problem at all.

Those who reflect on culture are crying at the wrong grave.In other words, they didn't think about the reason at all. As the saying goes, a poor man's tricks, a rich man's conscience.It is the Westerners who get rich first, and then become elegant and cultured.It also attracted countless admiration.

Then some people may ask why many factories were set up in the late Qing Dynasty, but the result did not bring about a strong country.On the contrary, it was defeated by Japan.Doesn't this prove that it is not enough to run factories alone!

This does prove that factories alone are not enough, but this does not mean that we must learn Western culture. On the contrary, it means that the Manchu Qing did not understand the core of industrialization!

Industrialization is not a dead thing, but an organic living body. Technology needs continuous improvement, and different factories and industries need to cooperate with each other.Form a complete industrial layout, so that the power of industrialization can be exerted, and the factories established by the Qing Dynasty are too scattered.There is no pattern at all.

Moreover, the Qing Dynasty neglected the cultivation of talents. The existing industries did not have the ability to renew and develop themselves.

In later generations, China's industrial layout has been fully completed, and its production capacity has reached a new high, and it has become the world's factory. Is Japan still China's opponent?And with the strength of China, Chinese culture has influence. What is fundamental is obvious.

"Zhuoyan, from what you said, have you revealed the focus of the next investment!" Yang Yuting said with a smile.

Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "Europe is still at war. It is not easy to get the synthetic ammonia industry from Germany, and the materials cannot be solved, and it cannot be promoted on a large scale. But I think it can be done in other areas, such as the chemical industry. The chemical industry is not only needed for the production of fertilizers, but also for the production of arms, but this is almost blank in Fengtian!"

"Zhuoyan, you have never been aimless. Since you said this, you have a goal?"

"Mr. Tie Kan has a sharp eye!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Fan Xudong established Jiuda Refined Salt Company in Tanggu. This Mr. Fan graduated from the Chemistry Department of Kyoto Imperial University in Japan. He has a good knowledge. Refined Salt Company is the first refined salt factory in China, if we can bring him over and invest in Fengtian, our chemical industry will have a bright future!"

The reason why Zhang Tinglan valued Fan Xudong was because this person not only had professional knowledge, but also knew how to operate and had the talent of an entrepreneur, which is very remarkable.Just like Zhang Tinglan's subordinates, Chen Qiming's chemical knowledge is not inferior to Fan Xudong's, but his specialization is different. Chen Qiming is more like a professional researcher than a managerial talent, let alone an entrepreneur.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan attaches great importance to Fan Xudong, and hopes to bring this father of China's chemical industry to Fengtian. It happens that he is at the beginning of his career at this time, and he is facing many difficulties. Zhang Tinglan can provide almost all help, machinery and equipment, talent funds, Market policies, as long as they are needed, can be won over.

This may be a good thing for Fan Xudong, and it will make his career more smooth. Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "Zhuoyan, since you have taken a fancy to this Mr. Fan Xudong, you can't go wrong, as long as he is willing To invest in the Northeast, the government can provide 200 million loans, provide the required land free of charge, and provide tax discounts within three years. In addition, it can open up corresponding majors for him in Fengtian University and cultivate the talents he needs."

"Mr. Tie Kan is generous. With such a condition, I don't think anyone can refuse it. That Mr. Fan Xudong will probably be tempted!" (To be continued...)
